Chapter 1066: Rejection
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Ms. Yan happened to come over and greeted her with a smile. Everyone let out a sigh of relief and forgot about the matter.
Ms. Niu Senior was humiliated in front of everyone, so who would dare to talk about it?
They didn’t even dare to do so anymore.
But some people did not give up and went to Ms. Fang in private to boast about their daughter, saying that they could bring their daughter to show Ms. Fang, so it was fine if Ms. Fang was not satisfied.
Ms. Fang turned them all down.
She did not have such thoughts at all. Why was she looking at his daughter? How wicked!
Shao Yunduan had told her in detail that although he was an official in the capital, he was just a minor official. A minor official like him had at least a thousand people in the capital, so it was nothing.
She was even less arrogant.
It was still too early for her son to go further in the future!
Qiao Xuan knew about it too, so she took Shao Yunduan’s hand and sobbed.
“…Do you think I didn’t give birth to a son or a daughter for you? Look, so many people feel that you’ve suffered and are rushing to give you a new wife!”
Shao Yunduan was caught between laughter and tears as he comforted her with his arms around her. “We don’t care about anyone else, but you can care about me! I don’t know how to do that! Besides, we have only been married for a short time, so we don’t have any children yet. Don’t let one’s imagination run wild!”
Qiao Xuan got teary-eyed and grabbed the c.h.i.n.k in one’s armor. “What if we have been married for two or three years and have no children? Then you are going to take concubines and make me angry?”
“No no no! Of course not!”
“I think that’s what you meant earlier…”
“Absolutely not!” Shao Yunduan kissed her face, lips, eyebrows, and refused to let go. “You are my wife, so of course I only want you.”
“What if, what if we don’t have any children in the future…”
“Don’t talk nonsense!” Shao Yunduan covered her mouth. “There will not be any!”
Qiao Xuan was not convinced. “What if?”
“There’s no what if.”
“Bah!”
Qiao Xuan was not convinced. What if? What if? That was not something that could be controlled by human power.
What if?
The more Qiao Xuan thought about it, the more confused she became. She was pretending to cry, but she actually ended up squeezing out a few tears.
Shao Yunduan was caught between laughter and tears. “What if!”
“But…”
“No buts.”
“If”
“There’s no if. Could it be that you think I’m not working hard enough? Why don’t I work harder from today onwards?”
“I-I didn’t mean that!”
“I think you are.”
“You’re being unreasonable!”
Shao Yunduan’s heart softened as he gazed at her. He tenderly kissed her soft hair and spoke with a gentle smile, “Alright, let’s just a.s.sume that I’ve been unreasonable, and you’re no longer angry, okay?”
Qiao Xuan pursed her lips, realizing that it wouldn’t be productive to dwell on negative thoughts. She wasn’t ill or in any immediate danger, so why worry about the unlikely possibility of not having a child? It was important not to get stuck in a dead-end mentality.
Determined, she grabbed the front of his shirt, looking at him with a mix of affection and determination. “You promised not to take a concubine. I won’t be swayed by any reasoning. If you can’t keep that promise, I won’t stay.”
She meant it. She was prepared to end their relationship if necessary.
Shao Yunduan felt a sense of relief and nodded without hesitation. “I understand.”
He truly did understand. He didn’t dare to provoke her further.
Qiao Xuan’s face lit up with a smile.
However, Shao Yunduan sensed that he needed to address Qiao Xuan’s concerns about the future. He wanted to help her let go of her worries about the “what ifs.” And so, he decided to put extra effort into their physical intimacy, hoping to prove to Qiao Xuan that her fears were unfounded.
He wanted to show her that there was no reason for her to worry about the “what if” scenarios she imagined.
